Well, we are now making the toolbar available to everyone. This really helps me go faster, use the keyboard less, and just focus on getting an image out. Luc does all the programming and dreams up awesome new ideas I didn't even think you could do! It started out as a just-for-fun project, but the toolbar got so powerful it seemed worth sharing with others. I've been designing the UI, thinking of useful functions, and testing for bugs while painting. Together we've built this awesome toolbar. I was interested in having a better UI to work with in Artrage that was focused on only using a pen for input- no keyboard usage.
#ARTRAGE BOB ROSS HOW TO#
Luc, the programmer, wanted to learn how to code in Auto Hotkey (the language the toolbar uses to communicate with Artrage). So, I've been working over the last year on a toolbar that I use with Artrage when I'm painting digitally.
#ARTRAGE BOB ROSS PC#
You might have gotten here from my YouTube channel, or the Artrage forums, or the Tablet PC Review forums, etc., because you're interested in the toolbar. I also have videos that go over the Artrage Pen-Only Toolbar that I helped make. About 3/4 of the things I talk about I learned somewhere else and then synthesized and applied to the specifics of making watercolors.ġ) Using Texture Overlays to generate realistic ambient watercolor effectsĢ) How to generate nice dry brush and wet on wet effectsģ) How to use Layers to create transparent watercolor washesĤ) How to create watercolor glazes over your grey tones They link to other tutorials and resources (sticker sprays, stencils, textures, etc), and I give credit where it's due. So, these tutorials collate a lot of various info I've gathered over the last 2 years. That's good news for a dad of a 4 year old. However, using Artrage I feel like I've been able to generate some interesting, realistic results while a) being mobile (as I use a tablet pc), and b) without ever having to clean up or prep. All things that digital art does very very well, and which "pay". I have long felt that digital watercolors is rather under-represented- there's a lot (of perfectly reasonable) focus on inking, comic art, and rough story boards, etc. So clearly there's an audience for this, which is cool. There's over 100 subscribers and juuuust about 10,000 views- which is more than I thought I ever would have got. So far, I have 11 videos up, and they total about 2 hours of run time. It would have been nearly impossible without the internet and the generosity of others- for, as I discovered, making a good tutorial can take quite a while. I wanted to give something back to the digital art community, as I've really appreciated the tutorials and things I've learned from over the last two years doing digital art.
#ARTRAGE BOB ROSS SERIES#
So I taught myself how to use CamStudio and mapped out a series of tutorials.

under-employed, and decided to spend some of my time doing something "useful".

It's fun to share some things you've learned through experimentation, a lot of reading, and screwing around! LOL! She was very appreciative, and I wanted to share the post. I showed her some techniques, she watched some of my videos, and then made her blog post. She was trying to learn some digital tools, and was working in Artrage. She's a traditional watercolor artist, with some very nice stuff. It was pretty cool.Īmongst those people was an artist named Tanith Larking, who went by the handle Tigermoth. I got to meet a lot of different people, share art, talk about techniques, etc. So, first- here's the blog post at Art Alchemy that links to my digital techniques, tutorials, etc.īack in August, when I was making my digital watercolor tutorials for Artrage (linked to in the post below), my thread on Watercolor Works-in-Progress in the Artrage forums was very busy. I thought this was pretty cool, and have been meaning to share this for a long while.
